Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the help guys!

Hey!

I have some doubts concerning structuring a websites URL’s and what would be the best practise for this case. The site has 4 (main) categories with a maximum of 4 products in each category.

For example: domain -> category (natural-stones) -> product (flooring)

Which I would give the follow url: www.companysite.com//natural-stones/flooring

Nothing odd so far, but here is the tricky part: the category isn’t an actual page a user wouldn’t be able to visit. The category is just an item in the mainmenu. If a user hovers over the category in the main menu they will get a dropdown in which they can select a product. E.g. flooring, wall strips etc.

My question is: Is the url structure as I suggested: www.companysite.com//natural-stones/flooring the best practise. Even though the category isn’t an actually page.

Or would it be better to structure the site: www.companysite.com/flooring My concern with this type of structure would be that the site would seem ‘flat’ with in-depth structure.

Or would a third (and maybe best?) option be to create an actual page for the category itself.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with my question/concern. If you need more  information let me know.

As stated by Donnie and William search engines don't use meta keywords as a ranking factor, so it is not recommended to use them. I would just like to confirm the fact that it will give your competitors an easy way to figure out which keyword phrases you're trying to rank for.

Best of luck with your efforts.
